Airplane description
U15 Phoenix is intended for recreational, sport, cross-country and
training. It is not approved for aerobatic operation.
The Phoenix is a single en-
gine, carbon airplane with two side-by-side seats. The airplane is equipped
with a fixed main wheel undercarriage with a steerable tail wheel. The fuse-
lage is a carbon shell with carbon/kevlar seats integrated. Safety belts are
attached to the seats and to a shelf intended for lightweight objects (head-
phones, maps, etc.).
The wing is a monospar construction with a sandwich skin com-
posed of two layers of fiberglass with a foam core. Control surfaces are of
the same construction.
The airplane is controlled by a dual push-pull control system, only
the rudder drive is controlled by cable. The ailerons and elevator are con-
trolled by the control stick located between the pilot's legs (co-pilot's). The
rudder is controlled by the rudder pedals, flaps and spoilers are operated
by control levers located between the pilots.
